pixcat 's review for:
The idea of this book is fantastic but I had a hard time with the structure. Rather than the book being quartered into the stories of the four women, it is a timeline through the four years of the war. Each chapter is a different woman's story. The problem I had is it takes too long to know which woman you are reading about at the start of each chapter. Ok - is this the woman who is the Southerner sympathetic to the North? Or is this the woman who is the DC socialite sending messages to the South? I admit I quit the book after 200 pages and the only story I want to finish is the woman hidden as a soldier. What happened to her?! I'm too frustrated to find just her story among the others.
